This process of pancreatic duct formation in zebrafish may be analogous to the mechanism of duct formation in the mammalian mammary and salivary glands. (...) A related mechanism of duct formation has also been proposed to occur within the mammalian pancreatic epithelium.[uncertain][VHOG]UBERON:0007329VHOG:0000254ZFA:0001372duct of pancreasductus pancreaticusin EHDAA2, the dorsal and ventral ducts are classified as epithelial sacs - review after overhaul of duct/epithelia termspancreas ductthis class groups together accessory (dorsal) and main (ventral) pancreatic ductsuberon
